‘I’ādah al-Tarkīb li Afkāri al-‘Ulamā’ al-Sundāwīyīn

Abstract

This article is an initial endeavor to reconstruct the thoughts of Sundanese ulama. At the start, a number of dispersed writings about Sundanese ulama is introduced. Some of them concern popular works that are easily available in Indonesia such as Dadan Wildan's dissertation (2003)Cerita Sunan Gunung Djati: Keterjalinan Antara Fiksi dan Fakta. Suatu Kajian Pertalian Antarnaskah, Isi, dan Analisa Sejarah dalam Naskah-naskah Tradisi Cirebon (The story of Sunan Gunung Djati: the intertwinement of fiction and fact. A study of intertextuality, content, and a historical analysis of the Cirebon manuscript tradition). Aliefya M. Santri (1987) wrote a short paper on Martabat Alam Tujuh (Martabat Kang Pipitu), the work of Syekh Abdul Muhyi Pamijahan Tasikmalaya, the 16^th century ulama who spread Islam in south West Java. Also there is Didin Hafiduddin who, in 1987 studied Syekh Nawawi al-Bantani, the great Sundsneseulama of the 19^th century from Banten, and more specifically his Tafsir al-Munir.
